For centuries, gold has been India’s go-to safe haven — passed down through generations and stockpiled during uncertain times.
But in 2025, with inflation dipping, interest rates shifting, and digital options booming, many investors ask:
Is gold still a safe investment? Or is it time to go digital?
Let’s break it down — with the help of Vizzve’s smart tools and real-time market insights.
🏆 Why Gold Has Always Been a Trusted Investment in India
💹 Hedge against inflation
🛡️ Safe during economic uncertainty
🪙 Culturally linked to festivals and weddings
💍 Acts as both an asset and security
🔮 What’s New in 2025: Changing Trends in Gold Investment
📲 Rise of Digital Gold via platforms like Vizzve, Paytm, PhonePe
📉 Gold prices stabilizing after global inflation correction
💼 Younger investors prefer ETFs, SGBs, and e-gold
🧾 Tax clarity on digital forms and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs)
⚖️ Physical Gold vs Digital Gold: Which One Wins in 2025?
| Factor | Physical Gold | Digital Gold / SGBs |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | Risk of theft, needs lockers | Stored securely by platform/bank |
| Purity | Can vary, needs testing | Guaranteed (usually 24K, 99.99%) |
| Liquidity | Medium (jewellers, pawn shops) | High (sell anytime via app/platform) |
| Returns | Just price rise | + interest in SGB (2.5% p.a.) |
| Making Charges | 5–25% loss in jewellery | None (except small platform fee) |
| Taxation | LTCG after 3 years | SGBs tax-free after 8 years |
🔎 Verdict:
Digital Gold & SGBs offer more transparency, safety, and long-term returns in 2025.
💡 Should You Still Include Gold in Your Portfolio?
